"Uh, why isn’t anyone commenting on how the Stanford overmatched and undermanned team held the second half even against the #6 team."

Because that wouldn't fit the occasional narrative here that LSJU WBB players and coaches are underperforming and underachieving??

Or maybe because it was pretty clear that, if Louisville hadn’t done a 3d string line change substitution with about 2 minutes to go, the margin of victory probably would have been 10+ more than it was.

It was great that our team kept fighting to the end. I hope they START with that much energy against ND. They’re going to need it, because I’m sure ND will do everything they can to avoid going 0-2 on this road trip.

This doesn’t explain that Stanford “won” the 3rd quarter 16-15.  That being said, there’s a reason that the game is 40 minutes, an we have won games easily where the opponent held its own or even beat us for a stretch.  Yeah, after being down 18 at the half, it could have gone even more sideways than it did, and I’m glad we played better.  But I wouldn’t read too much into it; over the course of 40 minutes, Louisville beat us handily.
